Shloka 36
नारद–असित (देवल) संवादः — भूतप्रभवाप्यय, इन्द्रिय-गुण-विवेक, क्षेत्रज्ञ-तत्त्व
न तस्य त्रिषु लोकेषु परलोकभयं विदु: । इति वेदा वदन्तीह सिद्धाक्ष परमर्षय:,ऐसे मनुष्यको तीनों लोकोंमें किसी भी प्राणीसे भय नहीं होता है। यह बात यहाँ सम्पूर्ण वेद तथा सिद्ध महर्षि भी कहते हैं
na tasya triṣu lokeṣu paralokabhayaṁ viduḥ | iti vedā vadantīha siddhākṣā paramarṣayaḥ ||
“अशा पुरुषाला तिन्ही लोकांत कुठेही भय नसते, परलोकाचेही भय नसते. हे येथे वेद सांगतात आणि परमदर्शी सिद्ध महर्षीही तसेच म्हणतात.”

Educational Q&A
A person grounded in true knowledge and dharmic integrity becomes fearless: neither worldly threats across the three realms nor anxiety about the afterlife can disturb such a one. This fearlessness is affirmed as Vedic and upheld by accomplished sages.
Kapila is presenting an authoritative doctrinal point within the Shanti Parva’s instruction on peace and liberation: he cites the Vedas and the testimony of perfected seers to validate the claim that spiritual realization and right conduct culminate in freedom from fear.
